I have had a few people tell me that when they call me my phone straight to voice mail... Then several times over the last 2 weeks, I am getting what sounds like some one picking up an extenison. which is scary cuz I am home alone..
So I called and he reboots the modem and disconnects us. When he calls back he says..............
we got disconnected for the call,he calls back and he asks me, do you get phone calls for a Nancy????? I said um no.. he said he tried to call 3 times and 2 of them went to a voice mail box for a nancy.. Now he told me to hang up, dial *73 and disable call forwarding.. what the hell? :cussing: I never used that.....
any who, he is setting up a trouble shoot appointment.

I asked Tom about this...he's a supervisor for the phone company here, but used to be a lineman for years. He asked if you have call forwarding on YOUR phone? It's possible, apparently, for someone to set the call forwarding to another number even if they don't do it from your own home phone. Sounds like someone is playing games with you!

Wow... that sounds like it's a real problem. Very annoying, but also a very nasty trick someone could play!!! I hope you get it straightened out soon!! :grouphug:

It seems like the more stuff we have loaded on our phones, the more problems there can be. I hope they get it fixed soon.

Hugs,

your not kidding Donna.. All I wanted was the caller ID and the call waiting with caller ID.. this call back, foward, call back if # is busy, or that other one *69 I think it is..... it just crazy. I think there is a list of 10 options for the phone.. I miss the good old days..
